Chelsea dig deep and Ronaldo breaks the internet

‍

With a win for Man City and a draw for Crystal Palace, it was two out of three in our EPL parlay last week.

But it could SO EASILY have been a hat trick of picks - had it not been for an early red card in the weekend's showpiece fixture.

After Kai Havert’s beautiful looping header put them ahead early in the first half, Chelsea looked cool, calm and IN CONTROL against Liverpool.

But on the stroke of halftime Reece James was dismissed for handling on the line - with Mo Salah stepping up to convert the penalty.

Tomas Tuchel’s side then put on a masterclass of defending - doing JUST ENOUGH to come away with a point, but MORE THAN ENOUGH to strengthen their title-winning credentials.

The EPL now takes a two week hiatus to make way for the World Cup Qualifiers. But one newly minted Premier League player looks set to dominate the headlines a little while longer.

Last Friday, Cristiano Ronaldo’s fairytale return to Old Trafford LITERALLY broke the internet - and this week CR7 could easily break it all over again

If Ronaldo finds the back of the net JUST ONCE against Ireland on Wednesday, he’ll become the highest scoring international men’s player OF ALL TIME. 

So that midweek match is our Parleh Pick this week.

Picks

1. Take Portugal to win at -455

2. Take the Over at -125

3. Ronaldo to score at -163
